The
ILLINOIS WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY
Coffeehouse proposal needs
more investigation.
-See page 2
Vol. 72 Bloomington, Illinois, Friday, Sepember 24, 1965 N
RAC proposes coffeehouse
as haven for deep thinkers
Possibly the greatest issue
facing the Student Senate this
Sunday night is whether or not
to approve a $1,000 appropria-tion
requested for the organiza-tion
and operation of a campus
coffeehouse.
Although the proposal is
sponsored by the Religious Ac-tivities
Commission, RAC presi-dent
Gregory Dell is quick to
point out that the coffeehouse
itself would be sponsored by
the Student Senate-not RAC.
"There is no adequate place
on campus," Dell said, "with
an atmosphere conducive to
the meeting of people for se-rious
conversations. This cof-feehouse
would provide this
atmosphere." Dell concluded,
"I don't think anyone can dis-agree
with the basic need."
If approved, the coffeehouse
would be located at the corner
of Park and Beecher. streets in
the first building east of the
M e m o r i a l1 Gymnasium. The
structure is owned by the uni-versity
with the upper floor oc-cupied
by Dr. and Mrs. William
E. McDonald and family.
Mr. McDonald, who begins
his first year with the univer-sity's
E n g 1 i s h Department,
moved into the building with
the understanding that the low-er
floor may contain a coffee-house
in the near future.
Under the proposal, the
Student Senate would select
from petitions a student to
be the salaried director for
the coffeehouse. The director
and his committee, .which
would be part of RAC, would
be in charge of enforcing all
university regulations as well
as managing the business.
A RAC committee, under the
leadership of Dick Healy and
Bob Fish, has been researching
the idea for over a year and
has found that other ventures
of this sort have worked on
other campuses.
University Business Manager
Philip W. Kasch would not con-firm
a rumor that the building
in question may be torn down
in the near future to make
room for the university develop-ment
program.
According to Mr. Kasch, as
plans now stand, no building
is scheduled to be construct-ed
on the site. He suggested,
however, that the new addi-tion
to Memorial Center
might have space adequate
for the desired project. "I
don't care" how the new build-.
ing is used," Kasch said, "as
long as it's used in a way
that would benefit the entire
campus. That's what it's for."
RAC President Dell insists
that the planned coffeehouse
would meet the needs of the
entire campus. In his words, it
would be a meeting place ...
"not just for the art majors,
not just the religion majors,
not just the drama majors, but
everyone."

to 14 Redbird victory of last
season highlighted by Titan
Mike Neal's nullified 98 yard
sprint.
This year's traditional re-union
will see a comparative-ly
young State team take the
field against the Titan eleven.
Leading the Birdie contingent
is sophomore Jerry Kinnikin,
who possesses a fine throwing
arm plus an equally fine abili-ty
for running, as was wit-nessed
at last Saturday's
game with Millikin.
Kinnikin completed seven out
of fifteen with one interception
in that contest.
Quarterback Kinnikin makes
extensive use of halfbacks Jerry
Maley and Tom Major, both
juniors, for passing purposes.
Sophomore halfback Art New-brough
is also a favorite tar-
.get.,
Balancing out the Birdie at-tack
is the hard running of full-back
Bill Sneddon, a 185 lb.
junior from Chicago
For the Titans junior Steve
Laub will be calling the shots
at quarterback. Laub, in his sec-ond
year as signal caller, will
be throwing to such receivers
as tight end Bruce Daydif, a
freshman last year who won a
place with the starters because
of his glue-fingered tactics.
Other targets for Laub's
tosses will be seniors Mike
Neal and Denny Mathews, a
pair of nifty pass catching
veterans.
Wesleyan's ground game will
be amply supplied by 210 lb.
Dave Smith and hard hitting
senior Norm Erickson. Both
players are excellent prospects
for replacing the fine running
of ex-Titan star Dick Raab.
Rounding out the backfield will
be agile Jim Carkhuff, a junior
from Morris, Illinois.
As things shape up right now,
Saturday's contest should pro-vide
an exciting aerial dual be.
tween two fine quarterbacks.
Both men have strong, accurate
throwing arms and an ability
to mix up the plays nicely.
Kinnikin likes to run and
makes use of pitch outs, roll
outs and option plays. As is the
case with Laub, the ISU leader
can scramble when the going
gets rough. The only visible
difference between the play of
each man lies in experience.
Laub is the veteran of
many a college battle and has
the cool collective attitude
so necessary for success. Kin-nikin
is a sophomore with all
the tools but lacks the experi-ence.
It is this factor which
could spell victory for the
Titans.
Further comparison reveals
that State has the larger offen-sive
and defensive lines of the
two schools. ISU has a mixture
of seasoned and inexperienced
linemen. Graduation took its
toll last year and head Birdie
coach Larry Bitcon has the task
of rebuilding.
This latter factor could serve
as a disadvantage for State
since the Titans lost but four
seniors via the graduation
route.
No matter how the contest
turns out, Titan fans can be
assured of an excellent evening
of football. W e s 1 e ya n-State
games have traditionally been
hard fought battles and this en-counter
should be no exception.
Live Titan mascot activates tradition
Titan football fans can expect
a new feature to this year's
pre-game ceremonies w h e n
"The Wesleyan Titan" makes
his inaugural appearance at Sat-urday's
night contest with Illi-nois
State.
With all the pomp and cir-cumstance
of the ancient Ro-mans,
"The Wesleyan Titan"
will enter Wilder Field in an
authentic Roman chariot pulled
by two plebian slaves.
He will make his entrance
from the east side of the field
at the sound of his theme, im-mediately
following the raising
of the flag.
Besides the actual two to
three minute Titan ceremony,
a six to seven foot gas torch
will burn during the entire
game. The actual lighting of
the massive structure will com-mence
when "The W e s 1 e y a n
Titan" dubs it with his sword.
At that time the slaves will ig-nite
the torch.
Titan fans will also have an
opportunity to witness the ef-forts
of the newly formed
Freshmen cheering section.

Petitions are now available
for all students interested in
running for the following of-fices:
two freshmen senators,
freshman class president, vice-president
